Kudos to the Arizona Tea Party for NOT endorsing either candidate in the John McCain / J.D. Hayworth primary battle in Arizona.
Both are narcissistic careerists who should be doing other things than the peoples work.
Of course, their reasons reach higher lofts than mine… They wrote:
Roger Boone, organizer of the Flagstaff Tea Party, added, “The Tea Party should not endorse individual politicians, as their future actions may reflect poorly on our organization. We encourage our members to endorse and vote for whomever they choose, but as a group we will not endorse officially.”
That is an admirable position. It can lead to confusion as to who among the candidates upholds the Tea Party ethos. But if endorsing leads to compromise of core Tea Party principals about which there can be no compromise, then the risk of not knowing which candidates to support is minimal – you’ll know.
Good job Arizona Tea Party!
